June Exchange Final Count

Okay, here's the final count:

Erin Bailey
Amy Smith
Carrie Wells

So ladies, make three meals (if you want one for yourself) and bring two to exchange.
Also, we talked about bringing meals to Alisha Ashton since she has been on bed rest, so if you want to bring an extra for her then you can...she'll be out of town at the time so I'll save them in my freezer and take them to her when they get back from Florida.

See you Wednesday!

Ward Cookbook

FYI Alisha was good enough to enter all our recipes to date from the blog into the ward cookbook. Since we do not have a freezer meal section of the book all the recipes that work as freezer meals have that noted in the comments of the recipe. Be sure to check out the site and add any other good recipes you have.

Change to June Exchange

Hey guys,
Sorry, I also forgot that I need to change the time of the exchange to 8pm. Luke has a class that night and I won't be home until later. Amy, let me know if this is a problem since you already said you could come. Thanks!

June Exchange Count

Hey everybody!
I have only had a couple people respond for the June exchange. If you could all let me know in the next few days if you are going to be able to come that would be really helpful.

So far this is who is coming:

Erin Bailey
Amy Smith

And I've also had Mitzi and Kimberly let me know they can't make it.

I'll update with the final count at the end of this week. Thanks!
